'Taytastu' (lit. 'trace' or 'ghost' writing) is used in Kardii Writing for words that are somehow seperate from the main text. A footnote, or comment or address to a person in the middle of a sentence are written with taytastu letters. The taytastu letters are simplified versions of the normal letters, with a much reduced height.

may i'iee, ilia, min iree shaavche ay. (I'd be so happy, Ilia, if she came back.)

When the writing is meant to be a representation of speech, taytastu can be used to indicate whispering, or a lowering of volume.

ira ty leshe tah ksii ramarriari ksii, lii lyshaanche yda! (He's a very kind and friendly person, but don't trust him!)
